Žuvys fontanuose (book)
Author: Evelina Daciūtė
Somewhere there is a place where unwritten texts float. Most of them will stay there. Others will hang on, but it won't go all the way. The small part will be written down. Even smaller - it will appear on paper.
Not only blood flows through arteries, veins and capillaries. Poetry also flows through them. That's how Evelina Daciūtė writes poems - letting them flow through her. It washes out letters from under stones, flows under rocks, narrows, expands to sentences, stanzas. Ends with a period or colon. Sometimes it doesn't end.
The author says that poetry for adults is born from the recesses of the heart. You can't direct what the poem will be - rhyming or not. How it will end after it started. Rather than being surprised by unexpected forms or unique metaphors, she wants the texts to resonate: the reader recognizes their own states, or they help to imagine what someone else might have felt.
